English | 2022 | ISBN: 0735422966 | 240 pages | PDF | 16 Mb
Onshore Wind Farms: Dynamic Stability and Applications in Hydrogen Production offers an up-to-date discussion of new technologies and methods for building wind farms and upgrading existing wind turbines. The effective operation of grid-connected wind farms is quite a challenge for grid operators, largely due to the transient nature of wind energy. This book covers improvements in dynamic performance of a grid in combination with other sources including nuclear power, hydropower, and thermal turbines. It investigates the effects of devices and control strategies that potentially improve wind energy capture and stabilize existing fixed-speed wind turbines in grid-connected wind farms.

Wind Power Technology, Economics and Policies


Free Download Cedrick N. Osphey, "Wind Power: Technology, Economics and Policies "
English | ISBN: 1606923234 | 2009 | 406 pages | PDF | 27 MB
Rising energy prices and concern over greenhouse gas emissions have focused congressional attention on energy alternatives, including wind power. Although wind power currently provides only a small fraction of U.S. energy needs, it is growing more rapidly than any other electricity source. Wind energy already plays a significant role in several European nations, and countries like China and India are rapidly expanding their capacity both to manufacture wind turbines and to integrate wind power into their electricity grids. This book describes utility-scale wind power issues in the United States as well as background on wind energy, wind resources and technology, industry composition and trends, wind power economics and policy issues. Other policy questions, such as federal funding for wind research and development, and siting and permitting requirements, are also outlined.
